The members of the Al Ain Golf Club would like to offer you a unique experience in Al Ain. The first and only sand Golf Club in the Al Ain area. We have a well maintained 18 hole golf course and flood lit driving range. You don't need to be a member to play golf here, but you'll save a lot of money and give us much needed support if you decide to sign up. Our membership rates are very modest and you can sign up from September 1st until the following end of August. If you come late to Al Ain, we offer discounts depending on the month you sign up after the new year. What you save while being a member more than covers the cost of signing up. We offer much more than golf though.

The Al Ain Golf Club has been around a long time. We have a great group
of member and we've really grown a lot these last couple of years.
We're not done yet though and we'd like to welcome new members and your
enthusiasm to our little club at the edge of the desert.

We have the first and only sand golf course in Al Ain - 18 great holes
of desert golfing. In the past we've had an Open Invitational every
year and we're aiming for one again this November 2013. We have a flood
lit driving range and a climate controlled club house when the heat
gets to be just a bit too much. Inside the club we offer a large screen
television for sporting events, regulation sized snooker table and some
of the nicest people you'd care to meet in Al Ain. Outside we've built
a large playground for the kids, not to mention a huge area where they
can run around and be safe and secure. Close enough to know they're
there, but far enough away to not drive us nuts.

Our outdoor seating area

Cooking facilities include the only outdoor wood fired pizza oven in Al
Ain. We routinely host BBQ's the on the Last Thursday of the Month. We
have the cooking facilities in place to make your private party a
unique event in Al Ain. We have a pizza night at least once every month
were you bring all your own supplies and we'll cook your pizza for
you. Recently we have excelled at hosting parties for children. It's a
great place where the kids entertain themselves and the adults
entertain each other. Our state of the art sound system can play from
your iPod or we can help arrange live entertainment from our House Band.

The new grass and playground

We want to provide you with an alternative golfing venue and a truly rare social experience where you can relax in our natural environment and experience a quiet peaceful time. We're a retro club that keeps an eye toward a green feel even though we're on the edge of the desert. We recycle, we reuse and we make do with what we have. If you have a great sense of humour and like interesting people from all walks of life, this might be the place for you. We encourage both families and singles to come out and experience what we have to offer. Check out the rest of our blog for more information. If you want to contact us directly, our email is at the bottom of the page.

Over the last couple of years we've tried to improve the club in many ways. In an effort to promote our community spirit we've focused on doing things that bring people together. What better way to do that than with food! We've built a BBQ and Outdoor Wood Fired Pizza Oven. All of our building has been on a volunteer basis and that only adds an extra level of community spirit that we love to see.

Our playground for the children has been a welcomed addition to the GC. Ben du Toit built this wonderful structure for all the kids to enjoy.

We are always looking for ways to improve the GC. If you have an idea that you'd like to see through to fruition, tell us about it, but more importantly - donate your time and expertise to make it happen.
